Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers announced on Monday that he's taking a portion of his salary in Bitcoin and said he would also give away $1 million in the digital currency to fans.

Rodgers made the announcement in a video posted to Twitter in which he's dressed up like the Keanu Reeves character John Wick.

"Bitcoin to the moon," he said in the video, adding that he had teamed up with Cash App to give out Bitcoin to fans.

It's unclear how much of the three-time MVP's salary will be given in Bitcoin.

Rodgers signed a four-year $134,000,000 contract with the Green Bay Packers in 2018 and is taking home an average of $33.5 million a year.
